After several experimentation (see converters below), we decided to keep "Docx 2 PDF via POI-IText" because "Docx 2 PDF via FOP" converter are more slowly than "Docx 2 PDF via POI-IText" because steps are docx -> XSL-FO -> FO -> FOP.

fr.opensagres.xdocreport.converter.docx.xwpf is based on the org.apache.poi.xwpf.converter which is enable to convert :

  • docx to PDF.
  • docx to XHTML.

Here the process of org.apache.poi.xwpf.converter converter for PDF conversion :

  1. load docx in Java Structure Apache POI - HWPF org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFDocument
  2. loop for each POI Java model (paragraph, table, etc) and create for each POI model a PDF iText model.

Experimental Docx Converter

Here converters use FOP and XSL to transform document.xml (by using styles.xml) from the docx to FO or XHTML.
